RIP SLYME- An Extraordinary Hip-Hop Group

In the summer of 2002 one of the most acclaimed Japanese hip-hop groups RIP SLYME gave a performance at the Hong Kong International Trade & Exhibition Center together with the local rap group LMF. These two parties surprised all by doing rap in their own languages and the crossover they did turned a new page in the cross-border musical cooperation history.

There are four MC rap singers including RYO-Z, PES, SU and ILMARI and one DJ FUMIYA in RIP SLYME. This group made a grand introduction in 2002 by receiving honors as the "Best New Comer" and the "Best Hip-hop Group" at the MTV Video Music Awards Japan and by being the first hip-hop group to perform at Tokyo's Nippon Budokan in Japan in the shortest period of time since their debut.

"Hotter than July" on their latest album "Time to Go" becomes a piece of occasional music to listen to in such sweltering summer days. RIP SLYME greets us all with ''What's up~How're You Doin' " which is a tune of great originality relying on the "human beat box" to create the rhythm. This technique aims to simulate the tempo at which human lips utter sounds and blow out air.

The percussion-based "Joint" should be the number with the most singing on this album. It shows the smooth coordination among the MC singers who are good at both solo rapping and singing in chorus. It is particularly interesting with the contrast generated by the playing of jazz piano in the middle of the tune.

The guitar is played in minor chords on "Why" creating a maze of suspicion together with the overlapping singing. RIP SLYME here plays the role of solving this mystery, which is exactly the concept of this song. "Shall we?" also presents a question-and-answer musical game as the group goes on to play with the same pleasing verve.

Other tracks like "Frog, "Time to Go" and "Rainbow" (Track 14) all bear the band's unique Rap flavor, which helps prove that RIP SLYME is no ordinary hip-hop group in the music industry.

Recommended Tracks: "Why", "Joint", ''What's up~How're You Doin' "

One of the best Customer Review Rated Bad 7 - 7 out of 10
I'm more of a jrock fan... And when it comes to jpop, I'm very picky, and jhip-hop, or jrap... Whatever you wanna call it... I consider it jpop... But if you're gonna pick a genre for every Japanese music genre, I guess you could call it jrap... or jhip-hop... Considerable, I don't like rap or hip-hop at all... But this is very pleasing... And they rap pretty well... I've heard a couple of artist like this, like Dragon Ash, and didn't like it... And FLAME... didn't like them either... but Rip Slyme are just great... Blue Be-bop is probably one of their best songs to me... It's got a jazzy feel to it, which makes it truly unique...

The Bottom Line: "Time to Go" by this cd Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
Rip Slyme is an amazing group I stumbled across several years ago and i ended up buying their cd "Five" which I really enjoyed (until it was stolen). The level of maturation from Five is amazing in this cd. I never bought "Tokyo Classic" (I will soon) but this cd is purely Rip Slyme at its best. Joint is an high-energy song that will get yoor feet moving. Blue Bebop had my friends singing the chorus (they hate j-rap) and "Shall We?"'s piano accompiament is so catchy and jazzy. I loved every song. It spread the full spectrum off hip, from jazzy to breakbeats to guitar rifts. Rip slyme's unique rappers (not to mention the way the sing together) and music sound will make them a group that will always stay on top of the innovative artists of Japan.

Great hiphop crosses language borders Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
Rip Slyme is one of my favorite groups, hands down. They combine pop and hiphop in such a pleasing way, you don't have to be a fan of hiphop or even Japanese music to appreciate it. Their music is catchy and light-hearted, remiscent of the early days of American hiphop without sounding too derivative. Funk and jazz influences are also evident, and the resulting sound is simply a joy to listen to.

I love the way the voices of the 4 MCs are each distinctive. You can feel each of their personalities come through, and begin to enjoy the character that each MC creates for himself. Also, if you have a sharp enough ear to pick up some of the lyrics, there are some fascinating usages of English and Japanese in conjuction with each other. Let's not forget the brilliant DJ Fumiya, who provides the backbone of the music. "Blue Be-Bop" (track #12) is particulary exemplary of Fumiya's talents as a DJ.

"Time to Go" may be the best Rip Slyme album yet. "Tokyo Classic" and "Five" were undoubtedly strong, but there is a musical maturity that is more apparent on "Time to Go" than Rip Slyme's previous efforts. I hope they will grow even more from this point. My favorite tracks include "Basic Line", "Why", "Minute Maid", and "Blue Be-Bop".
